On the military barracks and school grounds outside the city, flags were unfurled, and 8,000 soldiers stood in rows, some of them stood straight and straight, such as more than 3,000 men of the Western Army, and some of them stood crookedly, obviously these were from the Tokyo Forbidden Army.

This is also the first time Gan Qi has seen the army of the Northern Song Dynasty with his own eyes, and it also made Gan Qi a little disappointed, he thought that it should be the sharp swords and guns, the cold light, the iron armor is thick, the speed is like the wind, the Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and the immobility is like a mountain.

But the scene in front of him is obviously far from these descriptions, and there are no clusters of iron armor. The real iron armor, even in the Western Army, is equipped with less than a third of the people, and the Tokyo Forbidden Army is even less, and more is leather armor, or leather iron armor mixed with leather armor.

Many of the blades of the Tokyo soldiers have rust, probably I don't know how long they haven't been used, and the maintenance is slack.

Among the eight thousand soldiers, there were six or seven hundred cavalrymen, and the horses under them were also different in height, short, fat and thin, some of them looked much taller, and some of them were like mules pulling carts on the street, thin and small.

Ganchi himself rode a horse, which was not a good horse, a bad horse, but in that cavalry group, this horse was not the worst.

Di Qing stood on the platform, read an obituary, and then there was a small ceremony of burning incense and sacrificing to the sky, before he ordered it to be opened.

The army marched out, column by column, and after the army came the baggage wagons.

In the end, Gan Qi took people out, and beside Gan Qi, there were fifty or sixty ironclad men, whose momentum was also extraordinary, and he also prepared some frames. In the end, there were two or three hundred readers, and these readers all had cars to sit in, although the cars were of different grades, but these two or three hundred people didn't have to walk by themselves.

The image of this army marching also made Gan Qi slightly disappointed, there were many frames behind the troops, donkey-pulled, mule-pulled, skinny horses, all kinds of things, how did they feel a little lacking in majesty.

Di Qing and many soldiers in front of him didn't seem very excited, and even many soldiers in Tokyo were crying, obviously unwilling to go to war, but there was no way, the military order came, and if they didn't want to go, they had to go.

On the contrary, the two or three hundred scholars at the back were very excited, and they had just walked out not far before someone began to sing.

All kinds of poems are frequently made, either triumphantly, or horses trampling on the enemy, as if the battle has not yet been fought, and the triumphant song has been sung.

Ganchi didn't seem to be excited, but kept meditating, thinking about many things.

Gan Qi also turned his head around from time to time to look, and there were really many people on the side of the road who came to see him off, including the families of the soldiers of the Tokyo Army, crying and crying all the way to see each other, and the families or classmates and friends of those literati, who also sent tears to their eyes.

Gan Qi probably wanted to find someone in the crowd, not Wu Qiao'er, because he deceived Wu Qiao'er again, Wu Qiao'er probably didn't know that Gan Qi had already set off at this time, and when she knew, Gan Qi was afraid that he had already gone far.

Gan Qi was looking for Zhao Zonghan, and Zhao Zonghan told him that he was going to go together, but no one came.

Looking for it, Gan Qi shook his head, probably thinking that Zhao Zonghan should not come.

At this time, Gan Qi heard someone shouting excitedly: "Dao Jian, Dao Jian, I'm coming......"

Gan Qi looked back, and there was an ironclad man in the crowd, staggering over, looking really ridiculous, Gan Qi immediately laughed when he saw it, and said, "Haha...... Xianfu, what are you doing here? ”

Zhao Zonghan walked to the front and shouted left and right: "Quick, help me quickly, get me to the car." ”

The frame was next to Gan Qi, but Zhao Zonghan, who was dressed in iron armor, couldn't get up.

Gan Qi personally dismounted and helped Zhao Zonghan from the buttocks, and Zhao Zonghan was counted on the frame, and then panted a few times before talking to Gan Qi: "Dao Jian, but I'm tired to death, my ancestral armor is too heavy, and I can't walk on the road." ”

"Take it off, dozens of catties are hanging on your body, it's really sinful." Gan Qi turned over and got on the horse, but he was also amused by Zhao Zonghan, Zhao Zonghan's appearance just now really looked like a penguin, but the person who had seen a penguin in the Great Song Dynasty should be the only one Gan Qi.

The other people in the frame also laughed, helping left and right, helping Zhao Zonghan untie the cowhide rope that connected the armor.

Zhao Zonghan opened his mouth and said: "Dao Jian, you don't know, I almost can't come." My father insisted that I kill the chicken, saying that I could kill the chicken, so he asked me to go to Yongzhou with you. ”

"Oh? Looks like you killed the chickens? Gan Qi asked with a smile.

Zhao Zonghan raised his head, and he had to be very: "That's not it, I'm gritting my teeth, stomping my feet, closing my eyes, and waving my knife, how are you?" ”

"How?"

"The neck of the chicken, broken in response, blood gushed out, the scene was very bloody, so not terrifying, scared my little guy so that his legs trembled, and praised me for my bravery, almost bowing to the ground." Zhao Zonghan said a little excited, but he didn't lie, that little guy was really scared and trembling, Zhao Zonghan closed his eyes and chopped, how long can the chicken's neck be? On both sides of the neck are the hands of the little guy, can this not be scared and shivering? It is also Zhao Zonghan's knife technique that is good, but if the knife technique is a little worse, it is not the chicken neck that is broken, but the hand of the little guy.

Gan Qi couldn't stop laughing when he heard it, and said: "Yes, yes, dare to kill chickens today, dare to kill people tomorrow, Duan Duan is a good man." ”

"Murder?" Zhao Zonghan subconsciously shook his head, then calmed down a few times, and nodded again: "Yes, if you dare to kill chickens today, I will dare to kill people tomorrow, and go into battle to kill the enemy or something...... It should be a no-brainer. ”

Gan Qi was laughing, but he was thinking in his heart, did he really let Zhao Zonghan kill someone with his own hands?

Before he had time to think about it, Gan Qi saw a familiar gaze in the crowd, staring directly at Gan Qi, but Gan Qi hurriedly turned his head and said, "Xianfu, the person who sent you is here." ”

Zhao Zonghan turned his head to look, shook his head and said, "Little sister is not here to send me, he is here to send you." ”

Gan Qi actually had a hunch, and saw Zhao Xiaomei, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, walk to the side of the road and stand next to Gan Qima, looking at Gan Qi with watery eyes.

Gan Qi tried to walk over the horse, but he still stopped him.

Zhao Xiaomei had already spoken: "Mr. Gan, you must return safely." ”

"Mm-hmm, I'll be back safe." Gan Qi replied.

I heard Zhao Xiaomei say: "Mr. Gan is going to return triumphantly, I have something that Mr. likes, and I will give it to Mr. as a celebration when the time comes." ”

"Huh?" Gan Qi looked at Zhao Xiaomei, then looked back at Zhao Zonghan, and Zhao Zonghan made a "I don't know" expression.

"Thank you, Little Master Zhao." Ganchi replied with thanks.

"Well, Mr. Gan must take care." Zhao Xiaomei's eyes were full of reluctance and worry.

Gan Qi nodded and pinched the horse's belly slightly, and the bad horse under the seat was gnawing on the weeds on the side of the road, reluctantly walking forward.

Gan Qi just walked over, and Zhao Xiaomei was still standing there.

"Little sister, go back, my brother is going to make meritorious contributions, go into battle to kill the enemy, and he will definitely return in triumph." Zhao Zonghan's frame also passed by.

Zhao Xiaomei was still standing on the side of the road and watching from afar.

After a long time, Gan Qi turned his head and asked, "Xianfu, what does your sister want to send me?" ”

Zhao Zonghan shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"You don't know?" Ganchi asked again.

"I ...... I really don't know...... bar. Anyway, I don't know, I promised my little sister, I can't say. Zhao Zonghan replied.

Gan Qi smiled and didn't ask much.

The morning sun is rising, and the fog that comes from it is far away, and the trees are lush and green, covering the shade of the official road, but the sweat is still slowly soaking the clothes.

If there is a gust of wind, there will be a moment of comfort.

It's a long road......

The singing turned into complaining, and the poems of the triumphant march became a sound of irritability.

Gan Qi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and smiled, as if he had a little sense of accomplishment at this moment.
